Chorus:

E    D  E        One kind at a time forever gone.

E    D  E        One kind at a time forever gone.

 

Am  C G E  It once was pristine and full of life 

C  Am G E  but one by one they met the knife.

Am  C G E  Pollution and habitat disregard.

E  D  E          Now they're gone forever on our guard.

 

{chorus}

 

Am  C G E  How could such a place even be? 

C  Am G E  Who created all that we see?

Am  C G E  Why would we decide it has such little worth?

E  D  E          Now they're gone forever from this Earth.

 

{chorus}

 

Am  C G E  Somewhere in a scientific lab 

C  Am G E  grows a GMO to something bad.

Am  C G E  When they all escape and spread across the land

E  D  E          they’ll be gone forever from our hand.

 

{chorus} 

 

Am  C G E  Now it's just a place full of weeds. 

C  Am G E  Only manmade things can sow their seeds.

Am  C G E  It took 4 billion years for it all to evolve

E  D  E          then be gone forever as man falls.
